Proper Airflow. I have a clear acrylic case, similar to this one: Obvisuly the most important thing in PC cooling is proper airflow, which I am afraid is not very easy to accomplish with this case. Here is my current setup, the fan in the front is...

I'm leaning toward anything it would be what the manufacturer does not suggest (exhausting from the rear) simply so I do not disrupt proper airflow. Pulling air from the back of my PC doesn't seem like the greatest idea anyway since that's where my PSU and...

it out a bit, else people might think that you are just a arrogant newcomer with a bad attitude. 4870s are notorious for heat production. One CANNOT install this card without proper airflow, as even with the sealed reference cooler that dumps the heat out...

is better or maybe which is better if placed in different locations? Mounting on the bottom will require me to lift up the case sufficiently above my carpet for proper airflow. I would think 1/2" is more then sufficient in the Fan blows into the case. Remember,...

for moving my PCI-32bit Wireless card into the PCI-X slots? so I can make sure that the PCI-E graphic card is free and it gets proper airflow? Or Is there any cooling solution for integrating with Dell motherboards specifically Precision 670 so I...

stably run your system at these temperatures and i wouldn't worry too much. if these heats are too much for you than you can upgrade your cooling solutions. as for the case. the important thing to ensure is proper airflow. you must somehow make it so that...

hot and still locking up, it is RMA time). Are the fans all blowing into the case? If so, that won't help you. The reason it may not have been locking up with the case open is that the warm air gets to leave the case. Proper airflow is not just air going...

a replacement. My Current RigEdited by flywheel on 01/24/02 07:09 PM. you'll have to close the case cover in order to achieve proper airflow through the heatsink. If you leave it open then all those fans will go to waste. Your heaty SCSI HDD could be saturating...

It should go front to back, bottom to top, in to out. Next get a good HSF I recommend the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Stock cooling should be okay with proper airflow - I also recommend to reval your case fans. I do have 3 P4 machines that are servers...they...

to get virtually no airflow. For those with the fans in the middle of the HS, some air would try to escape out towards the front of the case which is not proper airflow for BTX. Yes I guess that could be a problem on some motherboards. On one of my systems...
